Chapter - 5703

Steve had long been aware of Charlie's true identity and had thoroughly investigated his background.

He knew that Charlie was already the head of the Wade Family and that the Evans Family would fully support him. Despite the outside world believing that the Wade Family had been taken over by the Dragon Temple, Steve had witnessed Charlie's cunning. He had manipulated the top figures of the Rothschild Family, so how could he possibly bow down to the Dragon Temple?

Therefore, he concluded that the Dragon Temple was undoubtedly Charlie's puppet.

Considering the combined power of the Wade Family, the Evans Family, and the influence Charlie had cultivated, he even had the strength to challenge the entire Rothschild Family.

Not to mention that he possessed the Life-Saving Pill and had control over the old man's life. If he were to go up against the Rothschild Family, his chances of victory would be even greater.

With such immense power, it was impossible for the Hogwitz Family to be discovered while traveling the Arabian Sea.

Just as Charlie said, finding two troublemakers in the vast sea was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

With this in mind, he immediately said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, your plan is truly remarkable and it benefits us in many ways! I see no problems with it!"

Charlie smiled and replied, "Even if there are problems, it doesn't matter. It's just the Hogwitz Family, right? If everything goes smoothly, I'll demand one billion dollars from them. If any issues arise, I'll ask for ten billion."

The father and son trembled, unable to utter a word.

In contrast, Steve straightforwardly declared, "If the Hogwitz Family doesn't know what's good for them, you mustn't hesitate to deal with them. Once I become the head of the family, if they still exist, I will personally erase them from American society!"

The father and son's hearts sank as they realized that their so-called strong support, the second-in-command of their own master, was groveling before Charlie and even planned to kill them himself. How could they rely on him?

It seemed that the Hogwitz Family was nothing more than a lone fight for Charlie. A family with a total asset of only a hundred billion dollars, what could they use to oppose him? If they provoked Charlie, they would end up bankrupt. It would be too late to regret.

Therefore, Walter's father quickly said, "Mr. Wade, rest assured, if you give me the chance to make a video, I will ensure my family cooperates and gives you the money. They won't cause any trouble!"

Charlie nodded slightly, satisfied. Steve also breathed a sigh of relief.

One billion dollars meant nothing to him. He could consider it as a tribute to Charlie. Furthermore, this matter could be resolved relatively satisfactorily, so the cost-effectiveness of one billion dollars was very high.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade, how would you like to receive the one billion dollars? Would you prefer a direct bank transfer or converting it into virtual cryptocurrency?"

Charlie replied, "It's not a large sum of money, so let's convert it all into cryptocurrency. It might come in handy in the future."

Steve exclaimed, "Alright, Mr. Wade! I will arrange that!"

Charlie nodded and turned to Walter and his father. He said coldly, "I will arrange for the two of you to board the ship as soon as possible. But remember, if anyone tries to play tricks, I will have them chopped up and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Understood?"

Both of them nodded without hesitation, saying, "We understand, we understand!"

Charlie then asked, "Are you satisfied with my solution?"

The father and son dared not voice any dissatisfaction and nodded repeatedly, saying, "We are satisfied, very satisfied!"

"As long as you're satisfied." Charlie nodded slightly, then turned to Jiro Kobayashi and said, "Jiro, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

Jiro Kobayashi was excited and said, "Mr. Wade, please give me your orders! I will do my best to serve you!"

Charlie smiled and said, "After the ship is ready, you will go on board with them. Your only task is to closely monitor them and ensure they don't make any sudden moves. Once the mission is accomplished, you will be a free man in the dog farm. You will receive a basic monthly salary and can have whatever you want as long as it's not prohibited."

Jiro Kobayashi trembled with excitement upon hearing this.

Although his current treatment was not bad, he was still only partially free. He couldn't freely leave the premises. But if he became completely free, he could enjoy the sunshine and have a salary. With a salary, he could afford things that were previously beyond his reach. This was a significant improvement in his current situation.

Thinking of going from hardship to comfort, Jiro Kobayashi couldn't help but burst into tears. He looked at Charlie and choked up, "Mr. Wade, I will never forget your kindness!"

Charlie nodded and smiled, "Do well, and your days will only get easier here."

Saying that, Charlie spoke sternly, "But remember, I can give you a certain degree of freedom, but you must have clear boundaries in your mind. If you exceed the limits I set, I will not spare you. Understand?"

Jiro Kobayashi naturally understood the meaning behind Charlie's words.

But now, even if he had the opportunity to escape, he wouldn't take it. On the one hand, he couldn't escape Charlie's pursuit. On the other hand, where could he go if he escaped? Sneak back into Japan? Not to mention whether he could return, even if he could, his own brother, Ichiro Kobayashi, would never let him go.

So his best option was to stay here.

Therefore, he humbly said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, rest assured, I will never exceed the boundaries you set!"

Charlie was satisfied with his attitude and then turned to Don Albert and said, "Don Albert, make arrangements for the ship in the China Sea as soon as possible. Find a cargo ship heading to the Middle East and send them on board. Also, inform Wesley to have some the Dragon Temple soldiers ready. They should be fully armed and escort them throughout the journey."

Don Albert immediately replied, "Mr. Wade, rest assured, I will coordinate and arrange everything as soon as possible!"

Charlie then looked at Steve Rothschild and smiled, "Mr. Rothschild, we've seen enough. It's time for us to go back. I don't know which hotel you'll be staying at tonight?"

Steve hurriedly answered, "Mr. Wade, I'll be staying at the Aurous Hill Intercontinental for the next few days. The Intercontinental Group has shares owned by our Rothschild family, so it's like our own property."

"Good." Charlie nodded and smiled, "It will take at least ten days for them to sail to the Middle East, and it will take at least ten more days to release the information through video. During this time, it might be hard for you to act as if you're in Aurous Hill."

Steve respectfully said, "During this time, I wonder if Mr. Wade has any availability. I also want to take the opportunity to learn from you."

Charlie smiled and said, "We're all good friends, so you don't have to be so formal. In a few days, Mr. Peter Cole will come to Aurous Hill. Let's get together then. He is very grateful to you for what happened in New York."

Upon hearing this, Steve's expression became somewhat unnatural.

He dared to contact Charlie because he knew that his father was unaware of Charlie's existence and had no knowledge of the connection between Charlie and the Four Treasures of the Study.

However, when he heard that Peter Cole was coming to Aurous Hill, he immediately felt a sense of distance. After all, this person was the mastermind behind the theft of the treasure from the Rothschild family. If he had any relationship with him, his father would definitely kill him.

Charlie also noticed his concern and said with a smile, "Steve, you don't have to worry. Uncle Cole is coming to Aurous Hill with a completely new identity. After he arrives, he will start fresh in Aurous Hill, and your father won't be able to trace him."

Then, Charlie continued, "By the way, I suggest you also assume a more ordinary false identity, immerse yourself in the local life in Aurous Hill, explore the city. You might even fall in love with it. When the time comes, the Rothschild family is welcome to come to Aurous Hill for investment!"

Steve quickly agreed and said, "Okay, Mr. Wade! I'll follow your advice!"
